Arix, This is an interesting find. Just what you found at least gives a plausible reason why they used 55 AA as the start code for the data part of the stream, since the start byte wouldn't be affected ( x and NOTx are equivalent in algebraic terms). But, I wonder how the computer could reverse the ...

All of this flakeyness seems quite odd, but kind of is in the same track as the software being flakey all the way through. I can't believe yours lost listings for several days? Surely that's unacceptably unreliable for the cable co? Mind you as you already said maybe they just didn't care. Did it's...

heheh, I've turned into a slight-problem-with-the-music geek :mrgreen: I think we figured that out already, tin.... just joking.... Anyway, you would think that at the expense of the cards they created to put into the Amiga and the complexity of the Sneak Prevue channel that they would have used a ...

You forgot to mention their was only one preview for "Supermarket Sweep" on Lifetime, the rest were from Pay-Per-View. This seems rather common with Prevue nowadays. Sometimes when they played those previews, they mention the cable network and the title of the program, but they didn't lea...

tin, I agree. I like the new videos as well. It actually explains something that in another post (as detailed as it might have been), may have explained partially how the top half worked. DId you happen to notice after the 2nd reset and the listings were popping in, the top half kept on hitting Pay-...

Hmmm. AriX, I wonder what you think about this.... I have got parts of a sender suite up and running. at the moment it consists of a sender which repeatedly looks for ASCII files in a directory then sends them verbatim, and 3 generator routines that generate and dump ASCII files in that directory. ...

Apologize for bump again but lately I have been trying to track down the remaining "Lost" Prevue videos. A few have been uploaded within the past couple months but a few still remain. One of the MitziDeMarco videos mentioned in the first post, "Cutting Class Mini Trailer (Prevue Guid...

I thought the same, and as we know now Prevue guide did this kind of information download and control through 2x audio streams on sub-carriers which is how I assumed Sneak Prevue worked. BUT if it is teh case that it did not use any Satellite video, what is the UVCOM Satellite video switch mentione...

Quick question. I have noticed something about the scroll on the Prevue Channel. There are some systems that the scroll stops after every three listings. There are others that stop after a movie listing only. And there others (like my cable company did) that continously scroll without stopping or pa...

One more thing I forgot to mention. When you pull up the Specs on the LD-V8000, you will also find that there is a second piece that goes with the LD player that turns the LD-V8000 into a LD-ROM system for computers to read the data from. It was sold separately, but could be able to use to download ...
